The guys talk it up with Cathy Huyghe, CEO and Co- Founder of Enolytics, Author of: Hungry for Wine, Seeing the World through the Lens of a Wine Glass and columnist for Forbes and Inc. magazines.

The guys sit down with one of the men that really started the Sonoma wine scene, Mike Benziger.  Sitting in Mike’s huge organic garden we talk history, wine and life. A Very special show, enjoy.

To say that Richard Arrowood is a Sonoma Legend is both true and an understatement.  Richard Arrowood is an iconic winemaster who has been making wine exclusively in Sonoma County for more than for 50+ years. From 1974 through 1990, he created the wines for Chateau St. Jean, where he developed some of the first vineyard-designate Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon produced in Sonoma County. He has worked closely with Phil Coturri over the years to produce the best fruit with absolutely the best field management principles. He and his wife, Alis, founded Arrowood Winery with the 1985 vintage. Each year, they made extraordinary small-lot varietals and vineyard designates. Richard was the winemaster at Arrowood Winery until June 2010, when he resigned his position to devote himself full-time to making wines for his estate winery, Amapola Creek Vineyards and Winery.

This week the guys sit down with Jeff Cohn, owner/winemaker Jeff Cohn Cellars in Sonoma. Jeff recently received some very high scores for his last release and we were lucky enough to try his newest wines before anyone else. Shortly after the recording of this show, we were told about the passing of Kent Rosenblum, he was a great mentor to many including Jeff Cohn. His spirit lives on through the wines he made and the wine lovers he touched.” https://www.jeffcohncellars.com/ Sonoma Tasting Room: T | 707-938-8343 E | info@jeffcohncellars.com Alameda Admin Office: T | (510) 465-5900 E | monica@jeffcohncellars.com
